Abstract

We propose the Stokes vector direct detection (SV-DD) scheme which simultaneously achieves receiver phase diversity and the cancellation of photodetection nonlinearity. An $80\mathrm{Gb}/\mathrm{s}$ single-polarization modulated SV-DD signal is successfully received after 160 km SSMF transmission with $11.64\text{bit}/\mathrm{s}$/Hz electrical spectrum efficiency.
